Charles, Where did you find the flanges? Before Trefz burned down (now a long time ago), you could getjust about anything like this you wanted/needed. In the past 20 years or so, however, it's just been catch as catch can. Perhaps some enterprising technoid will buy a CNC machine and go into business... Thanks.
